Penetration testing, threat intelligence and security training
We test the applications, infrastructure and people of companies that can’t afford to be breached, in any industry. Founder-led, by a former German special operations instructor who went on to run private intelligence operations.
We work with software companies, online shops and booking platforms, clinics and practices, law and accounting firms, agencies, manufacturers, logistics operators, financial and crypto businesses — anyone holding data or money that someone else wants.
Automated scanners check each door on its own and report that it’s locked. Attackers don’t need an open door. They need five small things that line up.
A typical attack path against a mid-sized company
Maps your staff from LinkedIn, your own website and your job ads. Works out who approves payments, who holds admin rights, and who started last month.
Scanner saysOut of scope
Calls the new employee as “IT support” about an expiring VPN certificate. Friendly, unhurried, convincing.
Scanner saysNot tested
One approved login prompt later, the attacker is inside your network on a trusted laptop.
Scanner saysMFA enabled
A forgotten service account with a reused password opens the file server, the mailboxes and the cloud console.
Scanner saysLow severity
Customer records, contracts and mailboxes are copied out overnight. Weeks later a ransom demand arrives, with a sample attached to prove it.
A supplier’s bank details change inside an email thread the attacker has been reading for a week. Your finance team pays the new account.
Scanner saysNo critical findings
Every step was “low risk” on its own. Together they take your data or your money. We test the chain, not just the links.
Five disciplines that real attackers combine. Book one, or let us run them together as a single operation.
The software your customers and your staff log into every day, tested the way an attacker would use it.
The perimeter you think you have, tested against the one you actually have.
Your people are part of your attack surface. We test them the way real adversaries would, with consent, care and a clear objective.
Attacks are run by people. We find out who they are and what they already know about you.
The people who stop the next attack will be trained, not lucky.
Zane Security is founder-led. Before offensive security, our founder spent twelve years in German special operations. The first eight were in active service with a commando company. For the last four, he stayed in active service while also serving as an instructor responsible for training, security and the testing of new technologies, with a focus on electronic warfare and cybersecurity inside the special forces community.
Then came years of private intelligence work: establishing who people really are, how they operate, and how they get others to open doors. That is the same skill set the people attacking your company rely on.
It is why one firm can test your software, your network and your staff, and then tell you who is likely to come for you. Reconnaissance before action. Patience over noise. Strict rules of engagement, and a plan for every exit.
You meet the person doing the work on the first call. No sales team, no hand-off to juniors.
Industry matters less than what you’d lose. Most companies recognise themselves in at least one of these.
Customer records, bookings, case files, patient notes, contracts. A breach costs you the trust you built, the customers who hear about it, and a conversation with your data protection authority. We test the systems that data sits in and the people who can reach it.
Supplier payments, payroll, customer funds, crypto assets. Attackers rarely need a clever exploit to redirect a payment. They need one mailbox and a week of patience. We test the path from the first email to the final transfer.
An enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire. An investor wants a pentest report. Your auditor needs evidence for ISO 27001 or SOC 2, or your insurer is asking before renewal. You get a test that finds real problems and a report that answers the question.
Agencies, MSPs and IT service providers: offer offensive security without building a team. We deliver white-label testing and training under your brand and on your timeline, with a report your clients will actually read.
Thirty minutes, under your NDA if you want one. We learn what you’re protecting and what “breached” would mean for you.
Written authorization, scope, test windows and an emergency stop contact. Nothing starts without signatures.
We test. Anything critical is reported to you the same day, not saved for the final report.
A walkthrough call with leadership and engineers, so everyone leaves knowing what to fix first.
Once your fixes are in, we verify them and update the report.
We don’t publish client names, case studies or logos, including on this page. Your findings travel over encrypted channels and are destroyed on a schedule we agree when the engagement closes.
This website sets no cookies, runs no trackers and loads nothing from third parties. We hold ourselves to the standard we test you against.
It depends on scope: how many applications, systems, environments and people are involved. After the scoping call you receive a written quote, and no work starts until you’ve approved it.
Focused engagements usually run one to three weeks from kickoff to report. Red-team operations take longer. Your quote includes the dates.
No, and it’s more common than you’d think. A first engagement is usually smaller and more focused, so you get a clear picture without a long project. You’ll get fixes ordered by what actually matters, not a list of hundreds of items.
Testing is planned around your operations: agreed windows, controlled traffic, and no destructive actions without your explicit approval. You have a direct line to pause the test at any moment.
Yes. We test and train under your brand, deliver the report in your format, and stay invisible to your client unless you want us on the call.
Every campaign is authorized in writing by your leadership and kept within agreed limits. Nobody is shamed. Results are reported by pattern, not by name, and turned into training that helps people spot the next attempt.
Yes. If you’ve been defrauded, impersonated or targeted by a phishing campaign, we can work out how it was done, who is likely behind it, and build a file you can take to your bank, your lawyer or the police.
We work remotely with clients across Europe and the Americas, and travel for physical, red-team and training work. Engagements are run in English or German.
Tell us what you need protected. You’ll get a reply within one business day, and a scoping call at a time that suits you.
